Review:

I visited Hakkasan for a Christmas work party and they did a great job of providing a huge amount of tasty, mostly meat- and fish-based Chinese food and drink to hungry and demanding people. The flowery cocktails were especially tasty and I think since my visit Kanye and Kim have been spotted there, which will add to the restaurant’s ‘cool’ factor.
